perfo event "Blushing (Is A State I Often Travel to)" part 3

WHATThis event is based on the phenomenon of identity, which 'shame' and 'over the top' and public are its main ingredients. The "scan of frontiers' and the complexity of the presentation of the self of the artist to the public. That "self" is exaggerated (over the top ') or is it smaller, preferably hidden or (in)visible ('Shame')? Does the performer exaggerate or shrinks she / he of shame and or collapse? As the fluffy existence. Or is it to be called exceeded decency? What is proper? Are we Hygenic Ethically and /or Esthetically. Etcetera…… Follow this all along the innerroad trip to our vertebrality.

CONTEXTWe Are Partners (WAP); this program is initiated by Extrapool Nijmegen.

WHOJamie Warren (Kansas City, USA) is an exuberant artist whose work is always looking for the extreme. She is known for her theatrical and humorous self-portraits in different scenarios and locations. She mocks social media and shows flip[sides of reality. In exaggerated photo shoots she positions herself as a protagonist into different extreme identities. She is also co-director of Whoop Dee Doo, a nonprofit faux-public television show with live shows and workshops to youth groups and the community in Kansas City. How vulnerable.www.dontyoufeelbetter.com

Dynasty Handbag (NY, USA) can assume the role of singer, stand-up comedian or dancer and from there she easily goes beyond the limits of expectation.She shows the public recognizable things which as well bare self reflectife criticism.Her work is ironic, rather shy than reluctant and more hopeful than degenerated. On stage the ridiculous is a necessity at the same time.She achieves an intimate bond with her audience that she brings a wry and crooked world and brings a "super-ego" to life with the body as identity. Not for softies.www.dynastyhandbag.com

Mr.Vast (Hamburg, DE)is an artless preacher, a dead horse flogger, the high street shaman in sequined dress and a quiz-master with all the wrong answers. This is his sweat lodge seminar, his powerpoint aberration, the sea-monkey on his back with a burnout. Mr.Vast's absurdity is tempered by a disarming sincerity. Parodies of famous music genres and vocal styles are born from a good perception to go to the extreme and beyond 'homage to'. Mr. Vast’s music lulls us into a totally false sense of security.www.mrvast.com
